There was some British tabloid that published the identity of 'Witness X' as the chief race engineer, Alan Permane.

PS. Welcome to the forums. What brought you here?

Interesting about Alan Permane - hadn't heard that - guess I would have lost that bet, lol!!!

What brought me to the Forums - I've been lurking for a long time, but I just ordered my first BMW - a 2011 328xit (bluewater/oyster - 6MT, ZVP, ZPP, ZSP, xenon, HK, heated wheel, roof rails). It just finished production and I can't wait for it to get here!

I currently have an '05 MINI Cooper S that is about to turn 100,000 miles - love it but have outgrown it space wise (4 dogs).
